SUMMARY:The Rappaport Family Antisemitism Lecture series featuring a film screening of "The Conspiracy"
DESCRIPTION:The Rappaport Family Antisemitism Lecture series featuring a film screening of The Conspiracy\, followed by a conversation with Director\, Maxim Pozdorovkin and The FHM’s Director of Education and Research Ursula Szczepinska \n Click Here to RSVP Today!\n\nAn animated documentary about the biggest lie ever told: Jews are plotting to take over the world. In times of extreme anxiety and disorientation\, people are often drawn to conspiracy theories. Disinformation and delusion capture the minds of many. Today\, fueled by social media algorithms\, conspiracy theories once confined to the fringe are going mainstream. But beneath the surface\, the pronouncements of QAnon are a retread of an age-old myth. Behind the torch-bearing chants of “Jews will not replace us” we find the original conspiracy theory: the lie that Jews are somehow dangerous. The Conspiracy is a feature documentary about the millions around the world who came to believe this lie\, the fanatics who cultivated it across the centuries\, and three Jewish families cast as villains. \nThe Conspiracy eschews traditional documentary interview techniques for a bold\, layered visual style that combines archive and animation in new ways. Starring Liev Schreiber\, Lake Bell\, Jason Alexander\, Ben Shenkman.

SUMMARY:Babyn Yar and the Art of Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Babyn Yar paintings by Felix Lembersky remained locked away for years in Yelena Lembersky’s childhood home. The Soviets did not allow Holocaust-themed paintings in state-controlled public spaces. Her mother and grandmother refused to accept their censorship. Instead\, they organized informal shows in their small apartment in Leningrad\, where friends and strangers gathered to commemorate the massacre and see his forbidden art. After years of fighting the system\, the three women left Russia and brought Felix Lembersky’s oeuvre to the United States. His Execution: Babyn Yar canvases\, created between 1944 and 1952\, are now known as the earliest artistic representation of the massacre in Kyiv\, Ukraine. Silenced by Stalin\, communists\, and secret police\, Babyn Yar became synonymous with Holocaust-by-bullets and the symbol of Soviet Jewish fight for freedom. \nYelena Lembersky will speak about her grandfather’s paintings\, his journey from Poland and Ukraine to Russia\, and his life of resistance to the erasure of Jewish memory. She will also talk about her critically-acclaimed memoir\, Like a Drop of Ink in a Downpour\, growing up as a child-refusenik\, while her mother and grandmother took on the mission and tremendous risks to save this timeless art. \n Click Here to RSVP Today!\n  \nThis event is brought to you in partnership with The University of South Florida Institute for Russian European and Eurasian Studies. \n \nThe Debbie and Brent Sembler Florida Holocaust Museum Lecture at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg

SUMMARY:"Lawyers Without Rights" | Exhibit Opening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Experts will discuss topics integral to the exhibit\, including the historical implications of a failed rule of law in the post-Weimar Republic\, and the current state of Holocaust education in Florida schools. \n\n\n“Lawyers Without Rights: The Fate of Jewish Lawyers in Berlin after 1933” is about the rule of law and how one government – the Third Reich in Germany – systematically undermined fair and just law through humiliation\, degradation and legislation leading to expulsion of Jewish lawyers and jurists from the legal profession. As the rule of law comes under attack today throughout the world\, Lawyers Without Rights tragically portrays what can happen when the just rule of law disappears — replaced by an arbitrary rule by law that sweeps aside the rights and dignity of selected populations. The story of the fate of Jewish lawyers in Berlin and all of Germany is more than a historical footnote; it is a wake-up call that a system of justice free of improper political considerations remains fragile and should never be taken for granted.\n\nThe program is free and open to the public\, seating is limited\, RSVP is required.\n\n REGISTER TODAY\n\n\n\nLawyers Without Rights Panelist Bios\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoshua Magidson:\n\nMr. Magidson’s primary area of practice is civil trial work\, with extensive work in commercial cases\, and probate\, estate and trust litigation.

He joined the firm as a law clerk in 1979\, and then became an associate and then a partner. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUrsula Szczepinska:\n\nUrsula Szczepinska is the Director of Education & Research at The Florida Holocaust Museum.

Most victims of the Holocaust don’t have graves – reciting their names allows them to be memorialized while reminding us of their human dignity. Hearing their names offers us a chance to reflect on their lives and the events of the Holocaust while renewing our commitment to ensuring that such atrocities do not occur again. \n Reading of Names Registration

Despite the diversity of each family’s history and journey of discovery\, the intimacy of the collective narratives reveals a common arc from suffering to resilience across the generations. \n\nThis book offers a vision of a shared humanity against the background of inherited trauma that is relatable to anyone who grew up in the shadow of their parents’ pain. \n\n RSVP Today!

SUMMARY:“Three Minutes: A Lengthening” Coffee and Film Screening - Green Light Cinema - August 28
DESCRIPTION:Join us in supporting the Tampa and St. Petersburg Theatrical Premieres of ‘Three Minutes – A Lengthening’\, a new\, award-winning documentary\, opening in theaters across the USA. Coffee and Conversation before the movie starts. \nHome movies may be the most haunting cinema of all\, taking on the patina of loss and mortality with each passing year. The home movies Glenn Kurtz found in his parent’s home in Florida were rarer and more precious still. His award-winning book\, Three Minutes in Poland\, explores the amateur footage his grandfather shot on a European trip in 1938\, focusing on members of the Jewish community in Nasielsk\, Poland\, just one year before the Nazis invaded their murderous campaign. \nIn Three Minutes – A Lengthening\, Bianca Stigter transforms David Kurtz’s shimmering images from over 80 years ago into a remarkable meditation on what it means for a lost community to be captured on film.

SUMMARY:“Three Minutes: A Lengthening” - Tampa Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Join us in supporting the Tampa and St. Petersburg Theatrical Premieres of ‘Three Minutes – A Lengthening’\, a new\, award-winning documentary\, opening in theaters across the USA.\n\nHome movies may be the most haunting cinema of all\, taking on the patina of loss and mortality with each passing year. The home movies Glenn Kurtz found in his parent’s home in Florida were rarer and more precious still. His award-winning book\, Three Minutes in Poland\, explores the amateur footage his grandfather shot on a European trip in 1938\, focusing on members of the Jewish community in Nasielsk\, Poland\, just one year before the Nazis invaded their murderous campaign. \nIn Three Minutes – A Lengthening\, Bianca Stigter transforms David Kurtz’s shimmering images from over 80 years ago into a remarkable meditation on what it means for a lost community to be captured on film. His rare\, color footage gives Stigter rich material to illustrate the detective work needed to recover the stories of a village destroyed by the Holocaust. As Stigter runs Kurtz’s original footage (sometimes in slow motion\, sometimes still\, sometimes in reverse to draw meaning from each frame)\, the distance originally created by looking at 83-year-old fashions and hairstyles collapses into the immediate present: those faces. To see children grinning or people craning their necks to get into the shot is to watch humanity as it always exists in the presence of a camera. \nAt the end of 1939\, the people visible in the film\, and all the Jews in Nasielsk\, were deported to ghettos\, then sent to the Treblinka extermination camp. Kurtz’s footage\, which had almost rotted just before it was discovered and restored\, is the only visual record remaining. Stigter’s film\, produced by Steve McQueen (Director\, ’12 Years a Slave) and narrated by Helena Bonham Carter\, serves as a thoughtful testament to their memory. \n\n\nTampa Theatre – ONE NIGHT ONLY!\nThursday\, August 25th.\n7PM – Doors open\n7:30 PM – Film Screening\nPurchase your tickets by visiting:\nhttps://tampatheatre.org/movie/three-minutes-a-lengthening/\n\n“A remarkable glimpse of Jewish life before the Holocaust… THREE MINUTES is FASCINATING… ELECTRIFYING… An invaluable document and a humbling memorial…” – IndieWire\nThe film is Directed by Bianca Stigter.

SUMMARY:“The Dressmakers of Auschwitz”  Featuring Lucy Adlington
DESCRIPTION:“The Dressmakers of Auschwitz” Featuring Lucy Adlington Thursday\, August 11 at 5:30 pm Virtual program via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TheFHM \n“The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive” powerfully chronicles the stories of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust\, stitching beautiful clothes in an extraordinary fashion workshop within the Auschwitz concentration camp. At the height of the Holocaust\, 25 young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp – mainly Jewish women and girls – were selected to design\, cut\, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. \nThis fashion workshop – called the Upper Tailoring Studio – was established by Hedwig Höss\, the camp commandant’s wife\, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here\, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz\, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin’s upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources – including interviews with the last surviving seamstress – “The Dressmakers of Auschwitz” follows the fates of these brave women. \n  \n \n
